📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the sour cream: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, sugar and 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is golden brown and caramelized, 20 to ⏱️ 30 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Let cool.

Mix together the onion mixture, sour cream, onion powder, a few turns of pepper and the remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, for the latkes: Using the shredding attachment on a food processor (or a mandoline or box grater), shred the potatoes, onions and garlic. Line a colander with two layers of cheesecloth and set it over a bowl or in the sink. Add the shredded mixture to the cheesecloth and sprinkle with the kosher salt. Let sit for 30 to ⏱️ 45 minutes (it’s OK if the potatoes discolor a bit). Gather up the edges of the cheesecloth and use your hands to squeeze out any excess moisture.

In a large bowl, mix together the panko, lemon juice, eggs, a few turns of pepper and the potato mixture. Stir in the scallions.

In a large skillet, heat 1⁄4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering; it’s ready when a strand of potato added to the oil immediately starts to sizzle. Use a 1⁄2-cup ice cream scoop to add compact scoops of the mixture to the oil, spacing them out so as not to crowd the pan. Press the scoops down lightly with a spatula to get 1⁄2-inch-thick patties. Fry until golden brown, about ⏱️ 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack or paper towels and sprinkle with flaky or kosher salt. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed between batches.
